10 Childhood Things Twitter Reminds Me Of!

by trancelestial

It so happens that the tiny little bird inspired people of the world to do one thing the human mind was pre-programmed to go – “SHARE” and show to the world – “YOU CARE WHEN YOU SHARE!”. Something so simple as 140 character long message would unite people across latitudes and longitudes was a situation no one had envisaged; the true power underlying the internet/ web was unleashed here with people from all facets of life came together on a single platform to share.

As I blog here, I tweet around and the vastness of it is yet to sink in; I guess it never will…but then are a few things in twitter that i can associate with the mesmerizing years of my childhood…

Twitter – the name arguably sounds to me like what we were called in class – chatter boxes; and they rhyme too – twitter-chatter!

RT or Re-Tweet – is so much like the “Pass the message” game we used to play; sitting in a circle a; a message would initiate from one of us by whispering it to the neighbouring person’s ear – needed to come a full circle intact with out any mix-up/ mistake; the one participant who would commit this mistake would be eliminated from the game – this is wonderfully similar, except that there are no eliminations.
